    On the pinks they got on right now I just saw one RX7. Out of I think 40 cars. They did have those kids in that red civic which performed miserably.

    i would LOVE to see Batlground's EVO on there, SHITTTTTT. But, yea, more evo's, supras, STi's, more diversity.


    but those people usually don't want to race for slips.

    because all the import guys ask for 10+ cars everytime....which pretty much defeats the purpose of even racing....

    I just hate the show because the host is a complete douche bag. And when someone questions him he says man I can shut this thing down right now. He's a power hungry bitch, who is trying to hide his balding by shaving his head.

    I LOVE Pinks. They just take commercials at the wrong times.

    Last nights episode was great. Probably a rerun, but it was the tournament that the lady in the white pickup eventually won. I didn't see but one import, really. That RX7 that did pretty well.

    Seriously they need to put some nice cars on there. I am incredibly sick of the ridiculous numbers of chevys. think about it it must be 70% or more chevy's. Fuck that.

    there is so much potential out there, but the people sank so much money into their privatly owned cars, they don't want to lose them. You see the shops competing, and when they lose, o'well. I'm wondering if they get a pay out after the show for losing.

    you know, I dont see why more shops don't compete....because technically speaking we the consumer spend more money then they do...they have the free labor, get discounts on parts, and sometimes get free stuff, but it's like someone else said....they don't want to hand over keys to their competitor and be busted on national tv.

    And i would like to see
    Battle Ground vs AAP Supras
    Mainstream vs Mahdavi
    I think since mainstream so well known for the 240 2jz, they can line up against Mahdavi Supra!! Now thats putting where your mouth is!!

    Batlgrounds Supra isnt running anymore. an i doubt they would put an $80000 race car up against AAPs 80-100k race car. Ask dan howm uch time an effort he has in his 8 second supra. Im sure he cant put a price on R&D

    Us vs Mahdavi, sure, why not. but i highly doubt either of us would put up our race cars for some TV publicity. its just not worth it. Ask Sam how long they have had an built that Supra, im sure hes got a lot of time an effort in it. and that car wins races for him and brings his shop business. why would he risk throwing it away to win someone elses car that prob wont be worth as much as their car.

    Thats why you dont see imports on PINKS. it takes a BIG BANKROLL and alot of guts to race titles, and thats why you see alot of domestics. they are FAR cheaper to run than imports and much faster. You can have a $5000 in a fox body mustang that runs 10s. Show me a 10 second supra that is worth what a 10 second mustang or camaro is worth.

    The only way to do imports on pinks is to do what full-race did, build a car worth losing. A sohc turbo D series in a shell that was a theft recovery. they had maybe $5000 in that car an it ran 10s.

    I cant speak for Batlground, AAP, Mahdavi, but im 100% positive we dont have $20,000 laying around to throw at a pink competition. I could probably build a sohc turbo CRX to compete, but thats it. i wouldnt risk my 2JZ 240sx , and im sure its worth FAR less than Mahdavis RHD Supra, so he would have nothing to gain.

    ANd sam runs mid 9s, none of our 2JZ 240s are that fast.

    and lastly, i dont have any beef with sam, so i dont see the "put your money where your mouth is " comment came from.

    We plan to organize another battle of the shops this year, so we will see what happens.

    did anyone catch the episode with the civic racing the camaro i believe.. the red one that put gold slicks on it in the second race?? if you read the build facts it said he had Gsr heads turbo.. and supspension.. and he was running 25lbs of boost and making 600hp?????????? i No way.. really??. but the entire time he was running he was on running at 13lbs of boost and he still got smoked it was entirely un far.. he raced just to give his car away

    We were called to do pinks. We declined. Not worth it. They told us to build a beater. We don't have time right now. We also asked if we could do a grudge match, they said no that they pick the cars for you.
